relocating and looking for a great neighborhood to rent inwhat is the best neighborhoods to rent a 2-3 bedroom apaprtment that is a quick commute via car or public transportaion near the Merrill Lynch/BOA headquarters We have two small children
I like to use the local sheriffs office for crime stats. http://www.coj.net/departments/sheriffs-office.aspx And I like www.homefacts.com for a lot of other stuff. I forwarded these link to your email as well. For legal reasons, we need to be very careful about answering any questions about "areas to avoid" or incomes associated with certain areas. I'm sure you understand~

Ask How is the pipes.. Call JEA see How much it will cost to turn lights on there. Is there an outstanding balance there. NEVER BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTION, IF YOU DO YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE IN THE END.
Better to know everything upfront, so you atleast know what you or getting into.... more

Often the best resource for neighborhood crime and safety information is via the local police department or county sheriff's department. They have access to the most accurate and current information and are generally willing to be helpful.

Not sure I understand your question or the logic behind it.
My comparison to you question would be similar to expecting to learn how to swim without ever entering the water. Not sure I'd try to swim the English Channel with that approach....

Howard,
Oak Hill is an "area" of Jacksonville, just like Mandarin and Arlington are areas of Jacksonville. There are many communities within the Oak Hill area, and hardly any of them have home owner association fees. I have a home listed for sale in Cedar Hills Estates, that is in the Oak Hill area, and it doesn't have any HOA fees. You can check out the details of the house via the link below.
Thanks,

It is allowed in Florida to a party to the real estate transaction with full disclosure on the purchase and sale contract.
1) Any real estate licensee who receives, or makes any arrangement or agreement to receive, directly or indirectly, any kickback or rebate, for the placement of, or favor in, any business transaction which forms a part of, or is incident to, any transaction(s) negotiated or handled by said licensee, is a violation of Section 475.25(1)(b) or (d), Florida Statutes, or both of said subsections of the Florida Statutes, unless prior to the time of the placement of, or favor in, said business transaction, the licensee shall have fully advised the principal if any and all affected parties in the transaction(s), which the licensee is handling, of all facts pertaining to the arrangement of kickbacks or rebates.
(2) The sharing of brokerage compensation by a licensee with a party to the real estate transaction with full disclosure to all interested parties is not considered a violation of Chapter 475, Part I, Florida Statutes.... more
Good advice so far, the market is in flux. Buyers still have the upper hand, use an experienced Licensed Real Estate Professional that is a current member of the NEFMLS and they can bombard you with enough information to make an informed starting offer price.
Good Luck,

Avondale is one of the Historic Districts in jacksonville, along with Riverside, St. Johns, and Springfield. There is also a Murray Hill Preservation Society as well as one in Mandarin, even though they are not designated as "Districts". Keep in mind that the 32205 zip code also covers properties in other areas, such as Murray Hill. I have a listing in Gillen that is 32205 which is the Murray Hill Region.

Of course you always want to buy when the rates are at their lowest, but that is not always where you get the most savings. Prices for homes are low but are turning around, your credit score may or may not get you the best rate. Whether or not there is going to be an increase or decrease in the near future
would be a hard call.... more
